Sustainable SEX

March 19th- 26 is Sustainability Week at the University of Guelph. Student leaders involved with s-week hope that it will "Empower our community, inspire individuals and organize our collective capacity for positive change." 

S-week encompasses a plethora of activities including: no impact challenges, bike silk screening, workshops, research showcases and poetry to name a few. You can check out their calendar for a complete list of activities and when they are taking place. All the events are free and take place at the university or in the community. 

How does family planning relate to sustainability? 

Family planning allows for couples to choose and anticipate the number of children they wish to have and when. Since couples can decide on how many children they are able to support and care for, this creates not only more sustainable families, but also contributes to sustainable communities. Through this, there will be less pressure on social services, the environment and resource availability. For more details and resources you can also look into these previous posts: 15 ways family planning can contribute to sustainability, and ...So what can you do. 

Also, you can check out our booth at S-week in the University Center on Friday March 25th and at St Georges Anglican Church on Saturday March 26th. We will be handing out free condoms, donated by the Wellness Centre, and talking about how family planning relates to creating a more resilient planet.
